BOOK II:

To suffer and gain from injustice shows that the evil outweighs the good. That it’s better to have neither.

The highest reach of injustice is to be considered just when you are not

To seem just is better than to simply be just. Someone who is just, but seems unjust, must be wretched while the other bountyful.

People are taught to be just not for the sake of justice, but for reputation.

God is good, thus evil comes from elsewhere. As, good can produce no evil.
